    "content": "This is only to say that on this particular issue of the Selection Panel, if you say that the Minority Party nominates two persons, the Majority Party nominates two persons and the PSC nominates three persons, only a fool can agree to that if you are sitting on this side of the aisle. Who controls the PSC? Only this afternoon, Hon. Gumbo raised an issue on the Floor which you asked him to consult with the Leader of the Majority Party. What he was raising was for the Government to table the list of appointments to show where they come from and their counties. That particular request came to the Floor of this House on 22nd February. They, in the Executive, have refused to bring it. Only yesterday, while you were away, the Leader of the Majority Party said that all Members of Parliament are the other arm of Government and that nobody here sits in the Government. He said that on this Floor and it is on record. Why would he not want to table a list of the people they have appointed in all arms and sectors of Government like parastatals? It means it is skewed. Only two weeks ago, we appointed people to the Competition Authority."
